AFTER BOTH SERVICES THIS SUNDAY
We need forty people to hang around after our services today to vote in our new by-laws in preparation for becoming a legally incorporated parish. Please plan to stay and help us get the votes we need!
SAVE THE D ATE: SEPTEMBER 21 PARISH PICNIC AND PICTORIAL DIRECTORY ROUND-UP
In just over a week is our fall welcome back picnic, and it's just around the corner at the Freeman's home (on the river!). You can sign up HERE to bring something, or on the sign-up sheet in the undercroft. Someone will also be taking pictures at this event for our fall directory (with names and faces matched this year), so please plan to be there if you can.
SUNDAY SCHOOL AND NURSERY ARE BACK!
Kids ages 4-12 are welcome to our Sunday school class downstairs in the undercroft from 10 - 10:30. The kids join us at the peace. The nursery runs throughout the 10 am service.
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR READ-A-THONERS!
Our read-a-thon kids raised over $1200 to support school scholarships for children in Darbonne Haiti!! Great job! Top "earners" were Livia Johnson and Oliver Graves Abe. All participants include: Finn and Josie VanderStuyf, Owin and Elizabeth Cuite, Aiden and Sofia Gauzza, Inigo Wood, Julie, Katie and Lily Stasaitis, Samantha Salisbury, and Elizabeth Ormistad.
